Meet the Driver

Leading the competition to the first turn in the inaugural Formula One event in 1995, Terry Rinker grabbed the attention of his competitors and fans alike.

  • Washington, N.C. in 1997
  • Bay City River Roar in 1998
  • Saskatoon, Canada in 2002
  • Bay City River Roar and St. Louis, MO in 2003
  • New Roads, LA, Sault Ste. Marie, MI, and Pittsburgh, PA in 2005
  • Bay City River Roar, the Grand Prix of Cincinnati,
    the Grand Prix of Minneapolis, the St. Louis Grand Prix,
    the APBA National Championships (Kankakee, IL),
    the Grand Prix of Hartford, and the Grand Prix of Savannah in 2006 - Seven straight wins!
  • Belterra Casino Grand Prix of Kentucky, and the Grand Prix of Savannah in 2007
  • St. Louis Championship Grand Prix in 2008
  • APBA National Championships (Kankakee, IL) MOD U win in 2009

Ever-consistent finishes have earned the team a finish in the top five in the series point standings each year to date, and the Championship in 2003, 2005, 2006, and 2008!

Terry has also scored ten national championships, and set five records for speed in other classes of powerboat racing.

The BLACKHAWK/RINKER team was formed in 1994, combining the driving efforts of Terry Rinker, with crew chief James Chambers. The AMSOIL sponsored team will be working toward another championship in the 2009 season, and is always exciting to watch!
